ShaneIt should be safe to never ever dlclose() a module.Do you mean never to dlclose() a module loaded via dl() at request time or do you mean that in general it should be safe to never dlclose() a module even if it came in via an extension line in the php.ini file? The former is likely a true statement, but the latter is definitely not. -Rasmus
